Today was nothing like what was planned. It was full of unexpected twists and turns. Yet somehow still ended up picture perfect. .

Finally getting out to explore new territory for me and experienced such surprising beauty. ☎️ Calling all my fellow socalhikers what are your favorite hikes in the Angeles National Forest? Help me plan my next adventure! 📸: @merockandtree

Even as little as taking a few seconds during a busy day to stop and watch the clouds roll by is enough. Get in a habit of allowing yourself those seconds. 🌥
.

I know for me it’s essential. Between the sitting in front of a computer screen for hours, the sitting behind countless break lights for hours, rushing to run errands, make dinner, do house chores, working out, more work, prepare for the next day, sleep, wake up and do it all over again. There are these small moments which we all deserve to give ourselves. Where we just stop and observe that which is greater than all of us. nature justbreathe

Nature Therapy has been tested and proven to lower blood pressure, reduce the effects of stress and boost the immune system, along with so many other positives! This year as I have transitioned back into a corporate career, working the 8-5 (somedays 5-5) sitting in traffic, being over stimulated by what is the concrete jungle of Los Angeles. I am finding a whole new life balance and re-realizing the importance of my love for being in nature, coupled with meditation and being present it truly keeps me sane. But don’t take my word for it. Try it yourself. It’s the start of another week and as the days get longer I highly recommend instead of using the TV or handheld device this week to help you to relax or escape, take a walk outside. You don’t have to climb a mountain or bag a peak. Just go to the park or walk down a city street that is lined with trees. Take note of how you feel before versus after, most important while you’re outside find a moment to breathe it all in and Just Be. .

It’s one of those days... a Monday. I’m fighting being in the “now” because I’d rather be somewhere, Anywhere, in a moment like this with him! .
Sorry to be all sappy IG but it is what it is and I’ve got my mind on Love. I’ll be hopping on my IG story later this evening to share an awakening I experienced this weekend on the topic of Love and Fear. Until then have a lovely day! ❤️

When you put your words into actions you get results. Speak your truth and magic will follow. A year ago this amazing soul @amanda.malarkey and I reunited with a common dream in mind. To help others in finding a more balanced and joyful existence. We talked, laughed, got bendy, explored in nature and had a coming together of the minds. The two of us set goals with each other to not only hold each other but also all of You accountable for your own wellness. I am so excited that next month we will take our leadership goals to the next level with an amazing all inclusive Wellness Retreat. We can not wait for 8 beautiful women to join in opening their hearts and minds while deepening their yoga and meditation practice, exploring the beauty of this Earth and learning how to reap the benefits of a well balanced life. This retreat is sold out but don’t you worry we will be hosting many more retreats like this in the near future. If you are interested in taking part in one of our next retreats or have suggestions on where in the world we should go next comment below👇🏼We’re working on manifesting future plans and want your input! Should we take our end of summer/fall retreat out of the mountains and onto a sandy beach in Mexico or into the magical desert of Joshua Tree? .

Comment from Breanne:

I long for days of dancing in magical fern gullies, exploring places where the Earth is living and breathing beneath my feet. I need an untamed and unpredictable place. A place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared. A place that can not be controlled. This is a place of true belonging, where walls are broken down and life is lived from the wild heart not the weary heart. .

You can Not make a person happy. You can make a person smile. You can make a person feel good. You can make a person laugh. But whether or not a person is happy is utterly and completely out of your control. Just like Your happiness is Your responsibility! There is No demanding that someone else fill your cup or meet your needs. It’s unfair and unrealistic to place the responsibility of your happiness on anyone other than yourself. So go Find your own individual, internal, private joy and present yourself to the world already Happy! .

Avoid the shoulda, woulda, coulda’s. Those phrases are energy suckers that dwell on the past and things we can not control. Accept what already is and let it be. Then harness that energy and pour it into goals, plans and manifestations of an amazing future. .

To get lost in nature is to find yourself from within.

I took off for the long weekend excited to escape the city, the traffic, the people. Little did I know I was headed for more than a weekend of solitude, I would be rediscovering the direction of my journey. While I am not “where” i thought I would be but I am working on the law of detachment and accepting that I am on this journey and exactly where I need to be. .

Art is the experience of beauty, awe, surprise, sadness, anger, and even disgust. It is seeing, feeling and knowing. .
After over a week long hiatus from social media I came back on to see this amazing photo shared by @minaretphoto from a couple years ago. It was the perfect welcome back after using the time to take internal inventory. It was important for me to dig deep and redefine what sharing little pieces of me is really all for. .
I am simply here to inspire and be inspired by others to experience a more mindful journey. There is no desire for the fortune or fame. Reaching just one beautiful soul for the better is worth more than a thousand likes. 💫 Why are you here? What are your intentions? .

Happy February friends!
I openly welcome the month of Love. 💕 Love for others, love for life and most importantly love for ourselves. This month I am challenging all of us to “Let go of that which does not serve you.”
.
When we let go of the people, thoughts, things or circumstances which no longer bring joy into our lives we open up space for the universe to bring in something new and amazing. Join me as the month progresses I will be introducing and discussing different ways of letting shit go, how we can implement the practice in our daily lives and the benefits of mastering this powerful tool.
.
Inhale deeply, pause and hold at the top, now slowly exhale, envisioning all busyness and stress of January rolling like the tide gently away from you. Let it go. ✨ repeat as needed.

I am feeling the energies of the Blue Moon tugging and pulling me into new phases and clarity of intentions. This moon opens us up to manifestation. A time to settle scores and heal relationships. So take some time today to be inspired to feel what’s going on within your heart and manifest greatness in all your relationships, including the one with yourself. Manifest what you want for yourself and journey over this next moon phase then let the universe take over. Do not fear the changes embrace them. .

This evening i can not wait! I’ll be climbing to the Peak of the Santa Monica Mountains to watch the full moon rise and meditate under its light. 🌕 📸: @gypsyjaclyn

Imagine that you are connected to everything that exists. Imagine that you are like a crystal bead. You reflect the light of all other sentient beings. You also reflect the light of the whole universe. Imagine that you are a strand in the cosmic thread connected to all the other strands. Imagine that you are eternal. ✨ (Mic drop)

Quote from my readings this morning in The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire by @deepakchopra An absolute must read. Just opening this book up to read a page or a paragraph is enough to inspire a better clearer mind throughout the day.

Self indulgent, selfish, self centered all terms with such negative connotation towards the self. What if we change out those terms for ones such as self care, self love, self assured. Because no one should put you down for taking time and loving yourself! ❤️
This last weekend I focused on Me and guess what I learned! It doesn’t take money to feel better about yourself. Getting a massage and facial treatment on Saturday was wonderful but the real highlight of the weekend was my 8 mile solo hike. So many people have so much negativity towards self care thinking it takes too much money, too much energy and time spent on yourself is selfish. Well the best thing you can do for those around you is to take time for Yourself. Taking a walk, closing the door while you shower to lock out the kids, finding a quiet corner to get lost in a book. There’s nothing negative about taking a little Me time and feel being some peace of mind. .

Mindfulness: becoming an observer, practicing non judgement and gaining awareness of the present moment. Live authentically, with intention, from an open heart. Accepting the imperfections, acting with love and practicing forgiveness of thyself and others. Meditate this week with intentions of Mindfulness. .

I, the fiery light of divine wisdom, I ignite the beauty of the plains, I sparkle the waters, I burn the sun and the moon and the stars. With wisdom I order all rightly.
I adorn the earth. I am the breeze that nurtures all things green. I am the rain coming from the dew that causes the grasses to laugh with the joy of life.
I call forth tears, the aroma of holy work.
I am the yearning for good. -Hildegard of Bingen

An amazing day from sunrise to sunset and everything in between.
I find the perfect way to rejuvenate for a work week ahead is to get outside for some Nature therapy... and maybe if it’s anything like today, a whole lot of awesome ladies gabbing it up on the trails. I just have to say I’m so thankful for the @womenwhohike community and the friends that it has brought into my life. I hope you all know who you are. 💚 It’s great when things happen and you can say, “Wow, I really needed that.” .
It may not happen every weekend but I challenge those who have a hard time getting into nature to put it on your calendar for once a month. You still have two weekends to make it happen in January!
Happy Exploring!

I’ve always had this idea of a path and timeline for my life. Yet no matter how I try to plan and prepare for ways to fulfill my dreams there is always something pulling me off course. I tend to get upset and frustrated at not having full control. With the expansion of my practice and studying of the Yogi lifestyle I work continuously to surrender to the law of detachment. Letting go of the part of me that identifies with the positions and possessions of life. Accepting that things are exactly as they should be, allowing the journey to unfold in its own time. It’s Friday and I’m going into the weekend throwing it all up and just letting it all be. I am not giving up my intention to fulfill my life’s dreams or giving up on ideas of an amazing weekend of adventures but I will simply give up my attachment to feelings of my worth through adventuring. happyfriday .

This year will be a year of living in the light. Being aware of the things that bring Joy into life and those which bring darkness. Focusing on what makes life full of happiness and really ignites the spark of passion and living. Making the conscious effort to be surrounded by the people, places and things which illuminate love. Love is the light. .
